Howard Stern coy when asked about expiring contract with SiriusXM
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Saturday, November 21, 2015, 6:44 PM

We’ve found one thing Howard Stern doesn’t like to talk about – the status of his contract negotiations with SiriusXM.
The legendary radio host turned uncharacteristically coy when asked if he had decided to re-sign with the satellite station.
“We're talking to people about the future,” Stern told Confidenti@l at the 2015 Get Your Escape On gala at the Pierre Hotel.
“I'm interested in continuing working, but we'll see where it lands.
“You don't know till the contract's signed,” Stern added.
“I can just say I'm interested in continuing on the radio. Where I end up, I don't know yet.”
Stern was believed to be making $80 million a year under his latest contract, which expires next month.
The 61-year-old Stern said he never imagined a career in radio could make him fabulously rich.
“I never ever thought radio was a money career,” Stern said.

“I never thought I was good on the radio. I worked at it and hoped I would get good enough that audiences would appreciate what I was doing. It was never like waking up in the morning and going, 'Yeah radio! That's where you can make a lot of money.' It's a very tough profession.”
Stern praised Donald Trump as one of his favorite guests.
“He was always great because he came from an honest place,” Stern said. “I know him as a great guest and I had him on years before everyone was having him on. Now it's a different kind of game.”
Stern laughed when we asked what he would do if a President Trump offered him a job as UK ambassador.
“I don't think anyone would take me seriously in that role nor am I looking for that,” Stern said.
“I'm a radio guy through and through, that's what I do. The one thing I do well in life is entertain people in their car and try to make them laugh and try to make them think. That's my real calling.
“If he needs an ambassador of radio,” Stern added, “I'll be there.”
Are you listening, Donald?

There's a law against answering whether you've signed a contract or not? Why was this law not in place in 2004 when Howard announced his Sirius contract a year+ before it started? Howard's not just not answering the question, he's avoiding discussing it. That's not how it's been in the past. Last contract, he might not have announced he re-signed until the last minute, but he wouldn't shut up about it leading up to it. It's pretty obvious there's been no agreement made and it's just a matter of whether one of them backs down at the last minute or not.

...hes got nothing going with sirius. i dont think anyone is going to sign him for another big pay day. howard is like the resentful carpenter that built 1 last house for his boss and did a shitty job. when he was done building it his boss gave it to him as a gift. thats kind of what howard has done to his career, his legacy, his brand.

He made that announcement on the radio and simultaneously Sirius made the same announcement to the public and Wall Street. Material company announcements aren't made to reporters at a fund raiser.

I think it's telling that he wants to get paid by Sirius but he's not going to give them as much live content or exclusive content (his new wen portal) but I think he's emphasizing the radio thing because he just wants to ink a deal with a Sirius
as soon as it's signed, he will have another project like AGT or Netflix he will put all his time in.
he lies
wonder if he thinks he can get Colberts slot too and just play old content on Sirius

notice how he doesn't endorse Trump, his landlord and friend and long time guest. He couldn't do him that favor, he will only endorse Clinton
